how can cupping help me?

The mechanism of how it works is very simple, yet its effectiveness for musculoskeletal pain and tension can be quite profound.

Myofascial Decompression is a technique that quickly improves muscular and fascial mobility by utilizing principles founded through ancient Chinese cupping, and studies on myofascial trains and connections.

By creating a suction inside glass or plastic cups then placing over areas of tightness or restriction, practitioners can create a lifting mechanism to stretch out tight muscles and unbind adhesions.

• By loosening your muscles.
• Balancing out muscle tension.
• Improving your mobility almost instantly
• Increases blood flow to slow healing muscle, tendon or ligament.
• Reduce scar tissue formation
• Release trigger points and decrease tightness in a muscle and the surrounding fascia
  
• By alleviating pain and promoting relaxation.
• Helps with treating cold symptoms.

The great thing about this technique is it is generally safe for all populations and the benefits can be seen and felt within minutes.
